The hospital data, however, did not show an increase in poisonings from all prescription drugs. Methadone use accounted for the largest relative leap in hospitalizations, being up 400 percent, but hospitalizations that resulted from barbiturate and antidepressant use dropped by 41 percent and 13 percent, respectively -- trends that Coben said could be the result of changes in prescribing patterns. Right now, it has its biggest effect where one of the 25,000 or so genes we have by itself doesn't work right, Vance agreed. It won't have much effect on common diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
